Answer 1

You can use php explode function to get the concatenated values into array

$value = $row['concat_col'];
$values = explode(",", $value); //assuming you group_concat used commas e.g. John,James,Jim

//$values is an array of strings concatenated by group_concat
echo $values[0]; //John
echo $values[1]; //Jim
